1 stick butter, 113 g
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut shredded

Instructions

CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients with a spoon. Pour into oiled 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) pan and bake in 350 F (175 C) oven for 30 - 40 minutes or until center of the cake is done.
While cake is still hot, poke it with a skewer to help frosting soak into cake. Immediately pour frosting over it.
